  • They widened the definition of middle class in order to mask the amount of actual poor people. I like This video of how people actually use their money. Supposedly 20% of people make 25k a year 😱

    “The upper class: keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class: pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there…just to scare the shit out of the middle class.” -George Carlin’

    Sometimes being in my little car driving in NYC is more relaxing or faster. Most of the time taking public transportation takes the same amount of time as driving, so I’ll pick driving so I don’t have to be cold or hot while waiting or to deal with other people. The argument for making more public transportation faster, more frequent is a good one and would make more people use it.






  • Chicago is a perfect example of what happens with a lack of trees, colder winters and hot summers. In NYC and other places they doing natural water absorption areas (forgot what it’s called) to prevent flooding by using trees and so on because the concrete helps with flooding. I think I saw it on Weathered on PBS. I hate it in my neighborhood when people just cut down trees for no reason other that they don’t want to deal with it. Other than the environmental benefits I feel it makes my neighborhood beautiful.
